I'm having a hard time finding the perfect keyboard too. You'll be amazed by the amount of dirt-stupid designs.

I want the Enter key to be 2 rows highI want the Backspace key to be 2 keys wideI want an empty row between ArrowUp and EndI don't want a Shutdown key next to EscapeI want both shift keys to be 3 keys wideI want the function keys to have the same shape as normal keys

Yeah I dont get what it is with keyboard designers, that they have to redo designs all the time.

Keyboard layout is quite important for workflow of course

So I have this

Beside the left shift key being 3 spaces, this has it all. It's great.Of course german layout =P

Excactly the same for me. It's a Logitech Keyboard here (only left shift being 1.5 Keys wide, the rest is the same.)

Sounds reasonable, right? I couldn't find it...

That's my keyboard! I got it for 10 euros in a catalog store. I didn't know it was such a gem

Dreamcast *chuckles* you youngsters, you I'm from the time of the Sega MasterSystem II and Sega MegaDrive II. "Alex the Kidd" and Sonic 1, 2, and 3 are the ones I remember fondest, although I think "Super Hang-on" and "Super Street Fighter II Turbo SE" also got their fair share of button-mashing. Interesting fact: I never bought new controllers for them. They were like Nokia 3310s, those things ^^Not like the N64 or the first PS controllers.

I'm not that young =DGrew up with a Sega Master System and later a Mega Drive tooIts funny actually, in my life I perfectly went the correct route of video game systems:ATARI 2600 -> Sega Master System -> Sega Mega Drive -> Playstation then 2, then 3Although I'm not that old I did the correct order by accident I guess.Has also to do with the fact that I always got the old video game systems from distant relatives and stuff =D

And sadly, I never owned a Dreamcast when it was active, I bought this one 2 years ago.

But yeah Master System... gamepad that has to start and select and alex kidd was built into the system... which was hard as hell compared to mario bros

I remember when I was 8 years old I would take apart my atari 2600's joysticks and tape a dime over the button contact to reduce the travel on the button and make it more sensitive for better shooty action.

It's an HP Pavilion dv6. Please, never buy anything in this laptop-case. It's poor design, and dust stacks up so easily. It slows my computer down a lot, and just recently it began giving me an error where the fan would fail completely, not allowing me to start up my computer. I wouldn't care too much about this, if it wasn't for the fact that everything has to be taken out of the laptop, before it can be cleaned. The heatsink and fan is not accessible, unless you tear it all apart. I'm afraid to do this, but it doesn't run well otherwise. I'm going to try it out very soon, because it just isn't working. I really would like to get a different setup once I get home, but I don't have any money. Meh, I say. Meh.

I have a really sweet 18,4 inch Toschiba Laptop. It has OpenGL 3.3 And it never by any chance is to hot. I dunno why but this boy runs very smooth (Well okay, it's a Laptop GPU so you just can't exüect much).

I never made myself buying a normal tower... Mostly because I don't have that much money and my "Developer Station" should be mobile.

Except you missed tons of Nintendo genius.

Indeed. However, as things go, most friends had Super Nintendo - not so much original NES.And well eventually I played them "all" by today. And some of them like Ninja Gaiden (NES) are my all time favorite games now.Actually I did own a N64, but I still think it sucks hard - one of the lamest consoles ever: mario, zelda and a few gems, but overall, really poor in comparison with PS1

I'm running a modest 3 year old box on _mostly_ the stock hardware. I've gone through a few hdd's, I've had to replace the gigabit network card, and I added the nvidia card because the onboard graphics performance was awful. It came with Win7 but I replaced that with ubuntu 10.04 a few years back. More recently (few days ago) I replaced that with ubuntu 12.04 after buying a 2TB hdd.
